OC Transpo’s Route 76 bus will make its last run on Aug. 29, the city said Thursday.
The city announced earlier this summer it is retiring Route 76, which travels between Barrhaven and downtown, out of respect for the six people who died in last September’s fatal bus-train collision.
It will be replaced by the new Route 72, which will start service on Sept. 2 after Labour Day weekend.
The city decided to change the number after consulting with the victims’ families, who all agreed on the move.
The Sept. 18 bus-train crash at a level crossing near the Fallowfield Transitway station crash sheared the front off the Route 76 double-decker bus and killed the driver, David Woodard, and passengers Connor Boyd, Kyle Nash, Karen Krzyzewski, Rob More and Michael Bleakney.
Flags at city buildings will fly half-mast on the one-year anniversary of the collision. There will also be a minute of silence at the previous day’s transit commission meeting.
The families have also agreed on a commemorative monument of some sort, the details of which are still being sorted out.
